One of the more versatile forwards in the 2012 class is DeJuan Marrero. The Gary (IN) Bowman Academy star is able to play either the small forward or power forward position depending on system, and that has Marrero garnering significant recruiting attention and in turn setting up several unofficial visits.

Marrero was given his first significant taste of the 17-and under level this summer running with Spiece Indy Heat. The 6-foot-5 forward held his own against the older competition and drew a lot of coaches to his games.
